NEW YORK STOCK AND BOND MARKET.
The principal deduction to be drawn
from the action and condition of the
took market during the past week is ap-
parently that bullish sentiments in re-
gard to the course of prices are still n
the ascendant, and that stocks are so
firmly held that the development of more
unfaVOrable circumstances than exist st
present would be required in order to
cause 6 selling movement of any extent.
At the SEINE time the market is g very
narrow one, the participation of the out
side public having failed to increase to
any extent, and the leading operators,
though as rule bulIish in their
views, are taking for the moment little
part in the manipulation Of the market,
which is accordingly left to find its actiYi
ty in the movements Of the secondary
operators and the traders. Under these
circumstances 1t is not surprising that
the market for the past week should have
been irregular and dull, the activity being
largely dependent upon the manipulation
of certain number Of speCislties, or
few stocks in which organized cliques are
interested. The possibility OF a severe
rate war among the northwestern roads,
in connection with reports of dam
age to the crops, was made use
Of as {. bear argument, and drives were
made at number OF the leading
specufatives, without, however, disclos-
ing much weakness in any quarter, where
upon the operators VINO had inaugurated
the bear turn beng apparently satisfied
with their experiment. Il stronger feeling
set Ia, and prices IS a rule advanced
during W ednesdsy and Thursday. The
lnfarket on Friday was exceedingly dull
aud inactive, with an indispositlOn to
buy stocks in view Of the Decoration
Day holiday on Monday. Prices cOnse-
quently s2gged, and at the close there
was bear raid of small proportions.
Several causes seem to operate to-
gether to check the movement Of the
market and keep ii, in spite of the gener-
ally bullish views of the street, in dull,
inactive and spiritless condition. First in
order is the fact that midsummer is not
so lar off, and that absence and dlsincli-
nation has perhaps begun to take out of
the street for the season a great many OF
its habitues. Somewhat allied to this,
though Of minor importance,
is the Saturday balf-holiday Isw,
which reduC NC the market
on that day to two hours only virtually
eliminates it from the week, besides max
ing it necessary to carry over stocks
bought on Friday one day longer than be-
fore. II would seem, however, that quite
SIS effective SIS anything else in producing
the tendencies referred to is the degree of
attention which the great wheat opera
lions in progress at Chicago have attract
ed among the specializing and investing
public, and indeed apparently deprived
the market OF large share OF ! usual
outside participation. Bradstreet's.
